Anyone still waiting for that ISO reduction?

I have like a million ISO. Literally.

    I believe they are "awaiting first party approvals." They said they hope to have it out this coming week.

    I couldn't wait anymore. I had to pump up characters to play effectively in BP PVP. I wish they'd done it before season started.

    Oh man, am I waiting. Hoping it's worth it for my 3*s going from 40 upward (a bunch) and 2*s (Ares, Storm, OBW, MNM) I've yet to max...

    How do you guys get so much iso? I've been playing a lot, and I only have 162 thousand.

    I believe the original post said that the ISO reduction would be for 3 and 4 stars, not 2s.

    I've been saving iso, but I don't really care - I just level whoever I need to use like kamala, qs and sw. I feel that getting that use out of them right away is worth whatever iso I would have saved otherwise.

    Kamala is a great all round character, and quicksilver and scarlet witch with buffs tank colours in their essential nodes which saves me health packs, and sometimes they get to fire a useful skill to end the match faster.

    I'm just holding off for the 2nd tier characters that are already at a usable level that I want to raise to my level cap.

    It should of been ready weeks ago. A player posted a picture of SW with the reduced ISO level in a topic I created: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=28237

    They're simply holding off on the ISO patch because they know we need to level our characters for the Ultron event and buffed characters for this week's PVP/PVE.

    Considering the stunt that was pulled with the coordination of Thoress' nerf and the last HP sale, I find it quite likely for this to be (extremely close to) the truth...

    This isn't a "stunt." I'm pretty sure it's their business plan. To me, anyway, a stunt would be a one off action. I'm pretty sure there was a sale right before the "True Healing" nerf.

    I never thought that I might want to track changes in relation to sales, but I think it is part of the plan. Grab that last bit of cash from those that are happy, then nuke them with changes, and have a percent them quit.

    Would be nice of them to extend the xforce extra sale points until after the patch so that people could move on from the nerfed cover a bit easier. But I know they only help the player base if it happens to coincidently line up with their cash making plans, so I wont hold my breath.

    lol. OF COURSE this is a business practice / model. And whether it's D3 or Deimirge or SEGA or Marvel or Disney is irrelevant.

    I doubt it.

    Since this change requires a patch, they've got to wait for approval from the outlets where there app is hosted. Apple's App Store is notoriously slow in its approvals. I don't know whether Steam and Android stores have similar approval processes. In any case, all outlets must be delayed until the slowest is ready, to allow simultaneous release.

    I think this was exacerbated by planning release on a Friday, so when the target was missed, it would have to wait until the next work week, but other than that, I'm not attributing any devious motives.

    Steam seems to have let it out now, and if this is it, it was worth the wait.

    The stealth launch of R75 seems coincidentally timed to land the same day the pitchforks and torches are coming out to complain about the way the 2nd run of Ultron ended; how convenient.

    Pick a day when a large percentage of people are bound to be upset and have that be the day you finally give them something that you already promised them. Maybe we'll be too busy spending hoarded ISO to complain about Ultron (and the Hulkbuster covers we didn't win).

    Some people just need to be grumpy.
